Oh my, that seems a lot to deal with. Would it be possible to say more about your diagnosis in terms of what these antibiotics are treating? Has your sputum culture grown something specific? How is your air clearance routine going? How well versed is your pulmonologist in treating bronchiectasis? Any other pertinent details you can provide might yield advice for you from this supportive group.

I have a mild case of bronchiectasis and sputum culture has shown MAI.
August 2023, I was diagnosed with mold induced hypersensitive pneumonitis. It was treated with several months of prednisone. Lungs responded well and pneumonitis is resolved. February 2024, I had Nocardiosis (nocardia bloomed in sputum culture) . Double dose of Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim for two months knocked it down. Sputum culture in July/August 2024 revealed MAI and thus the rotation of Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and doxycycline. I use a a PEP flutter for airway clearance. Breztri for asthma.
I am actually doing really well save for the gut issues .
I am treated by Dr. Yuh-Chin Huang and he is well known for treating these issues.
Is this the information that might be helpful?
